Born into poverty during peak Jim Crow, Ray Charles stood against the system that sought to keep him destitute. He famously fought against segregation until the state that banned him apologized & made his song their state anthem. Brother Ray loved America & made her better as a result.

This is how you do it. This is what we should be talking about rather than “no one’s doing anything,”

Shoebills can fly. Despite standing up to 5 feet tall and weighing up to 16 pounds, these prehistoric-looking birds possess an impressive 8-foot wingspan, making them fully capable of flight. Pairi Daiza (privately owned zoo & botanical garden) Brugelette, Belgium

Shocking

Could not have scripted it better

City Harvest NYC made a video thanking Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce for their $1 million donation, which will help feed 2.4 million New Yorkers!

Good Friday morning Blue Sky’s! “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller

It’s like when I look in the mirror. I think I’m m 6’3 and 190 pounds

Looks like great crowds. Some say larger the MLK Jr’s crowds.

HTTPS://lnkd.in/gmRs3SF7 I rode the KeyBank Gran Fondo to support Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation, and fundraising is open to 7/4/2026 $50,000 goal, and I’d be grateful for any donation you’re willing to make. Every dollar helps support life-changing rehabilitation programs in our community.

When Iran’s soccer captain offers more clear and direct support for LGBT people than the SF Giants leadership can muster for their own fans, it should be a wake-up call that Pride isn’t a celebration of victories won. It’s a reminder that those victories can disappear if we stop demanding better.

Good news today.

Doesn’t sound dangerous to me

Thousands of Mobula Rays moving together across the ocean in one of the densest migrations ever captured on camera. Photographer Aidan Bedford documented this phenomenon at its finest.

Diversity is beautiful

“THEY WILL LOOK YOU DEAD IN THE FACE AND SAY,, J6 RIOTERS WITH, GUNS, POLES, BATS, ETC WERE PATRIOTS, BUT AN ER NURSE WITH, A CAMERA, AND A REGISTERED FIREARM,, WAS A "DOMESTIC TERRORIST."

Best watch of the year. Free yourself

Coming to the Kennedy Center this fall

Guess which party he belongs to...

Trump doesn't want the truth. (Nor does he think the concept of truth matters.) He prefers his fictional version of reality where Trump is always right, and Trump always wins.

Best watch of the year. Free yourself

Imagine if the last president did this.

We should not consider the Netanyahu regime a friend of trustworthy. He is destroying Israel from within. Pentagon Sees Growing Espionage Threat From Israel www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/u...

Nature is awesome. Protect it.

We are in the era of pedophile leadership. In plain sight.

Thanks, I needed this.

Just sitting here listening to Opera as I do when in a certain mood. And up pops a recording of Queen and an unknown soprano doing a duet of a piece called Barcelona (or a pronounced in Spain Barthelona). It was lovely but a shocker. Freddie Mercury singing opera. A rare treat.

Best thing you will see/ hear!

Best shot ever of mobila rays? INSANE FOOTAGE (Aidan Bedford) Annual migration in the sea of Cortez WOW Why do we destroy our oceans and nature everywhere? #WarOnNature #Metacrisis

This breaks my 66 yo heart.

THE SUPREME CULT

Speak Truth...

Blowing Up Boats Hasn’t Slowed Cocaine Traffic www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/w... “In addition to being morally abhorrent, this method is as likely to succeed as much as would bombing a handful of McDonald’s in Dallas, Texas, and claiming that you’ve made America healthy again,” Dr. Latkin said.

Off to their lives. Goodnight Blue Sky

No words. Texas this one’s for you.

We have the technology available today to dramatically reduce infections. Our goal MUST BE zero infections.

Classic. Freud is so proud.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Emerald Lake

What you see in the Sun, is the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes beach, across Lake Michigan. You can see it from 50 miles of distance due to a form of superior mirage, because the skyline is seen above where it's actually located. [📷 wesskywalker]

Good morning! Sunset in Nova Scotia photographed by Eve Raymond. Amazing clouds and color..

America is the laughing stock of the world. We are not respected.

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

Is he really that dumb? I guess so.
